The action of physostigmine on mouse muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expressed in the COS-7 cell line was studied by the patch-clamp technique. Physostigmine accelerated, by allosteric modulation, the rate of desensitization of whole cell currents induced by acetylcholine and decreased the maximal amplitude in concentration-dependent manner.
